MS Sidewinder Pro USB gamepad/Win2K

This is a discussion about MS Sidewinder Pro USB gamepad/Win2K in the Windows Hardware category; It detects the thing, but you don't get any of the special support without loading the MS software. Of course, I load the MS software, and all of a sudden my computer takes 5 minutes to shutdown instead of 10 seconds.

O yeah i saw that and promptly removed the software. The controller works fine without it, one game I have(silkolene honda motocross GP) doens't work correctly with my controller till the software is in and you can map the buttons to keystrokes. But then the control gets sh*ty. So out it came and out is shall stay and so should it for you!
